Opening Keynote:James Phillips, Microsoft Corporate Vice President of the Business Analytics Product Group

Overview of Microsoft's Data Platform and Cloud Strategy

Presenting his Overview of Microsoft's Data Platform and Cloud Strategy, he will outline Microsoft’s road-map for Business Intelligence. As business applications generate increasingly large volumes of data, Microsoft’s tools are at the nexus of Businesses being able to embrace and proactively use all that data in order to build closer customer relationships and need fulfillment – a projected 1.6 Trillion dollar potential dividend waiting to be harvested.

Microsoft’s perspective is that value is created by moving from data to decision to action. In business operations, events create data, which should lead to intelligence, and then interpreted by people to gain insights that support the right decisions. Unfortunately, since businesses create more and more event related data, the analysts and decision makers are over-whelmed and just can’t get in the insights needed to drive the ‘right’ business decisions.

Power BI is one of Microsoft’s solutions; a tool that can link the massive amounts of data to the people that can take the right action, providing information in human consumable form that allows quick insights and immediate action, with a subsequent feedback loop. Power BI integrates with more data sources and enables historical reviews, real-time operational metrics, and business critical predictive insights. Power BI includes Dashboards and KPIs –types of reporting which can illustrate both trends and predictions.

Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to learn from the leader of Microsoft's two billion dollar business analytics products group about the vision and future of Microsoft's data platform.
